Don't worry be happy
Delightfully Delicious DC Challenge 2012 (Part I)

Welcome to the Delightfully Delicious Deep Conditioning Challenge 2012 (Pt.1)


:thewave:



Want better retention? More moisture? Healthier hair? More managable hair? Wanna stay up on your DC game?

This challenge is for you!




The benefits of regular deep conditioning:

  • One THE best ways to increase and maintain proper moisture levels in the hair
  • Improves manageability
  • Reduces splits and breakage i.e. great for retention
  • Effective way of maintaining protein/moisture balance

We know, but we forget, we get lazy. This challenge is to keep us consistent :yep:




Everyone is welcome! Natural, texlaxed, texturized, transitioning, and relaxed heads. Ladies with braids or cornrowed under wigs/weaves come on in!



This challenge will run in quarters:

Part 1: January 1st –March 31st
Part 2: April 1st – June 30th
Part 3: July 1st – September 30th
Part 4: October 1st - December 31st





Da Rules: :grin:

1. Deep condition at least once per week, on wet or dry hair. If you are wearing braids or weaves, once per 10-14 days.

2. Shampooing is not required.

3. Deep condition using your method of choice: Heat cap, hooded dryer, steamer, hot towels or no heat.

4. You must DC for a minimum of 30 minutes.

5. Come check in at least once a week to update us on how it's going for you. Also, it would be helpful if we know what you are using as your deep conditioners of choice. This helps to inform the newbies in that we'll know if they are using the correct conditioners for their hair in an effort to avoid protein/moisture overload.

6. Let us know what kind of results you are getting from a conditioner as well, whether you liked it or not and why.

Woohoo! I DC'd yesterday with Carol's Daughter black vanilla hair smoothie. Usually, I don't care for her products but my aunt gave it to me so I decided to give it a try. I'm pleasantly surprised, it melted my tangles away and left my hair soft.

Was waiting for this one! I will use one of my Aubrey Organics conditioners as a DC weekly. I appreciate product recommendations to combat dry ends/thirsty hair. Hoping just DCing consistently will be a start....

Please add me. I'll be using MJ super sweetback treatment, CJ HIBISCUS & BANANA DEEP FIX, or some other product.
 
I've got a KBB mask, a Mixed Silk, Curl Rehab,Deep Fix, some Shea Moisture and 7 Purabody Chocolate smoothies just off the top of my head.:look: So yeah...I'm in this.
 
I didn't join last year because I was super busy and lazy, but this year I'm so in!

I will be using mostly Moroccan Oil Hydrating Masque, KeraCare Humecto, KC Moisturizing Conditioner for Color Treated Hair and AO HSR and AOWC conditioners for moisturizing treatments.

I will also be using Moroccan Oil Restorative Masque, AO GPB, KeraCare Restorative Masque and Super reconstructor for strengthening.

I still have some Dudley's DRC 28 Protein Treatment, ION Reconstructor, and Duo Tek Protein Treatment that I will be using up. I love Dudley's DRC 28, so it will be added again when I run out. Duo Tek is pretty good too so I'll see about re-purchasinging it later.

I will be DCing with both my hooded dryer and steamer alternately
 
I'm in. I've missed doing this the past two years!

I haven't decided what products I'll use for sure, but I **think** that I'll use my Giovanni Smooth As Silk deeper moisture DC, along with AO HSR. I need to pick out a heavy protein conditioner to use every other month or so(my hair thrives on it).

I'll be using my bonnet dryer.
